Falucka

by Tony M.

I thought the place was alright.  The music was quite good--arab-influenced dance music.  Mixed drinks cost $9.  Cover for guys was $10 on Sat night.It was packed--and there was a good combination of velvet rope type people and regular people.  I was with a group of friends, so I was just fine.  It's small and it's packed, but somehow works out.

One of the best hookah in town. The place is pretty standard.. bar/ couches/ tables. The night I went wasn't too crowd. we got a table without minimum charge..usually they do. The place is a little bit hard to find because there is no sign in the front. the music is mostly hip/pop.. people= HOT Europeans (HOT HOT) Hookah, only one favor ( double apple) absolutely loved it. one of the best hookah i ever tasted. Service was a little bit slow. they were definitely understaffed. I would go back there if i'm around the area.. cross town is just too far.

i sorta have a love/hate relationship with this place because i've been here 5 or 6 times and i either have a really good time or a really terrible night. i once showed up for a BDAY party on a SUNDAY night at MIDNIGHT and they had the nerve to charge me cover. COVER ON A SUNDAY NIGHT???? get outta here....anyways the sheesha (hookah) here is pretty good, and the arabic music is always jumping. be aware that this isn't the type of place you roll through with more than 4 peoples.

This is the first place where I tried hookah so it will always have a place in my heart ;)It gets REALLY packed...so it's good if you can get there early and score a seat/table especially if you are with a group of friends. Fun environment though--lots of dancing, good music, and people are generally in a good mood. Price is not that desireable though.

My friends and I woke up all feeling like crap so you know what that means, IT WAS A FUN NIGHT! We were all hung over and still tasting double apple in our throats, we couldn't even discuss last nights events for fear of puking in the car. I had SO MUCH fun last night @ Falucka.  I don't think there's a minimum on hookahs/drinks or any limits on the # of ppl either- like some other hookah places.  $25/hookah- I guess it's about the same as the places with drink minimums but the staff was not stingy with refilling the coals and were so attentive.  Came here with a group of 6 and later on became a group of 10, earlier on at 10pm and it was empty.  It got more crowded as the night went on but as the night on, the place was def poppin'.  Drinks are kinda pricey too.  The drinks were flowing, beers kept coming, and the waitress was the sweetest girl ever!  She gave us kamikaze shots on the house and overall, made our night.  She was down with dancing and taking shots with us.  Gotta love that.  Met lots of random ppl and it was def a good spot to chill and hang out in.  The DJ is also cool with ppl requesting music.  We asked him for music you could dance to as opposed to the house/techno he was spinnin' and he willingly obliged.  :) Props to the DJ !!!Overall bill: $220 but celebrating at Faluckas is priceless!

i don't know at what point Falucka became our hangout spot!!! I've been there so many times.it's a great spot to go with ur friends, and have fun.the atmosphere is kind of middle eastern, but its nothing like hookah bars in Astoria, don't get a wrong picture.the DJ is one of my close friends his name is ziko; he is very Good's makes sure 2 get up and make u dance with his music, playing greatest house and hip hop and international. but sometimes he play 2 many Arabic music. its fine though, because most of them have house beats on them.i wish they had more hookah flavors than just double apple.i love the crowd, because its such a mixed crowd.the staff who work there are friendly, and nice people.so overall great music, great crowd and fun environment. what else you need?!the only reason i gave it a 4 star is because it gets over crowded sometimes. mostly on the Friday and Saturday nights. and you cant dance or even sometimes move , because it has pretty small dance floor and when you dancing like sooooo many people keep walking around back and forth to out side or bathroom area or just walking around and you keep getting pushed around by the crowd, drooping ur drinks, touching ur friends boobs (by accident, because they pushed ur elbow when u were dancing)as of cover charge, its $10 sometimes! if you are bunch of guys with no girls with you. and if its really packed they might do bottle service only. there is small tables inside, fits up to 4-5 Pol for each table!i was actually there last night again, and we had a BLAST!!

Mall petite bar / hookah bar in the city. ( about 10 tables and cannot fit more than 5 in each table).  ONLY one flavor for hookah.  Service is slow due to one waitress.Music is a mix of arabian / hip  hop.  Most of the people are arabian (moroccan).   and a very small group of different cultures.2 restrooms only (one for guy and one for girl), a little trashy looking.Drinks are a little pricey, coat check is $2 per item, No cover.

maybe i came here on a weird night. but i really don't get the whole "dance club" in the front, hoookah lounge in the back.what's the point of going to a hookah lounge if you can't talk to the person you're next to?? it was SO loud in there. i need to go to a hookah lounge that you can chill and conversate in.if i was drunk, however, and came here for the dancing, it would be nice to walk to the back and get a hookah and shout at my friend...because when you're drunk, you're shouting anyway. maybe i just need to come here drunk and dance. next time.

In a word, meh.But, given that a one word Yelp review is blasphemous, here goes: the lighting in Falucka (which, by the way, doesn't appear to have a sign, so just look for the 162 above the door) is dim and lovely.  The bar is glowing.  The seating is comfy and casual.BUT...the beers are totally overpriced, even for New York, and the hookah is $25 (if you've ever been to the Middle East, you'll know why this is disgraceful).  The waitresses are totally rude (at least the night I was there), and the music is WAAAAAY too loud.I had a good time anyway.
